Sound works in f7 and I have f7 on a laptop that I am using. I just was trying to move forward and thought that someone might have an idea what permissions could be involved.

It is all so frustrating after 15 or 20 years of success. -- ======================================================================= We were so poor we couldn't afford a watchdog.
